Quicklies: I was more than happy back then
Bob Perry wrote a blog entry about Ginko's bonds here - Ginko Bonds A Better Buy Then Formerly Thought? | Your2ndPlace. Nobody Fugazi, Sarah Nerd and others engaged in conversation about the bonds speculation n the comments section. For the most part I hear "Ginko blah blah bonds blah blah Ginko blah" whatever. One thing that was clouding my mind as I was attempting to follow the discussion was the incorrect use of "Then" in the entry title and again in comments. "Then" is basically about TIME (or condition) while "Than" is strictly a comparison. When making comparisons Bob keeps making references to time and it completely throws off my ability to follow the rest of the argument. Oh well.

Nick Wilson, complete with rockin' cool accent, has posted a video tutorial at Metaversed.com. I really like the way he pronounces GarageBand! The content is about how to record Second Life voice using a Mac. It involves SoundFlower, Audio Hijack and GarageBand together to record the SL audio. It's really a great tutorial for those interested in SL voice and capturing it, it's also a very nice example of screencasting/dekstop movies for tutorials.

I found out about a new web page widget available for your website from this blog post: Apple Gets Into Social Music Scene with My iTunes
It links to this widget Apple provided on their website: My iTunes Widgets
It's a neat idea and could almost replace my abandoned last.fm account.
Speaking of widgets - Dalien Talbot has added a widget to his blog that caught my eye. It's a "rate this page" widget from "Spotback - Rate everything!". It was interesting enough to me that I added it here to my individual entry page template.
To see the widget in action just click the "read more" or "permalink" links to see the rating widgets and to cast your vote for individual entries. I also noticed that part of the widget (a busy little thing, isn't it?) is "tags" where YOU can add your own tags to my posts. Neat idea!
So tell me - how am I doing?

*Then* what is your problem? Is it different *then* you thought? :-) Hehe. Yeah, that was driving me nuts as well, but enough time in SecondLife has desensitized me.
